Another go at this fine prompt!

Lyrics

A flash of light, a fleeting glance, 
A moment’s grace, all down to chance 
Eyes like stars, the deepest blue
 A world of wonder
I just caught a glimpse of you

I wanted more, but it slipped past
A shadow dance, too quick to grasp
Yet in that glimpse, a spark remains
Devastating, like a hurricane

A roll of thunder, in the night
Uneasy feeling, something not right
I sit and wonder, what might be
I caught a glimpse of eternity

I sit and wonder what might be
I caught a glimpse
I caught a glimpse of you

A gentle ode to what might have been. Beautiful

Your voice is so nice. Some of the emotional builds in this song give me shivers.

I love how you capture this little moment that feels like eternity. Very beautiful lyrics, well done.

I really like the vocals and melody here. Makes me think of how life is full of coincidence and chance that can go in many directions.

...you cannot be serious! 😀 - wow! again - very nice lyrics, great song and impressive presentation - painting strong pictures (a spark turning into the force of a hurricane) - well done!...

Easy tumble of words announcing the hurricane of feelings associated with glimpsing ‘you’. Great write. Fav line “ A shadow dance, too quick to grasp” eluding indeed…
